I went +4" wider overall. Actually it comes out to 3.56". I carefully measured it and the stock axle. I ride in sand dunes (Glamis, Dumont) only. BIG improvement. Way better at sliding, side hilling, razorbacks, etc. I would highly reccommend it.

To tell you the truth..i am not big on buying used parts..Is this the axle off your own bike? What about warranty and stuff like that....i had called KandK this morning to order but they were busy...do you have apic of the actual axle? Thanks

I didn't notice in your mods what you did to the front to match the rear width. My buddy (and I will also when I get My LS Excal 2+2)along with the axle added offset Douglas's. Matches the LS full width almost perfect. Yea, I'm sure the wider a-arm setup is probably a little stronger but is fine for what we do. Did you run the +4 first and than go to the 2+2? What are you doing up front? Thanks.

sonic, I ran my axle at +2 and the TCS shocks actuall widen out the front a little because it sets the a-arms more flat. I didnt want to go +4 with the axle because that would be to wide for the type of riding I do.

Hey Xtreme165, so the tcs shocks lower your raptor and give you more travel with just the stock a-arms? I am thinking about getting some shocks and fipping the rear linkage to get the ride height a little closer to a banshee. How is that setup working for you?

raptor77, The set up works great I did the same thing TCS shock and flipped linkage. I am getting a R though. So all my accssaries are for sale, well someone is suppose to buy most of them this weekend. You'll like the set up alot better than stock seat height is about the same as a 400ex if you do this. I can get shocks at a discount if your interested e-mail me.
